Book excerpt: The revered author's classic work that examines the four types of human love: affection, friendship, erotic love, and the love of God.? In this work Lewis examines four varieties of love, as approached from the Greek language: storge, the most basic form; philia, the rarest and perhaps most insightful; eros, passionate love; and agape, the love of God, the greatest and least selfish. ?Throughout this compassionate and reasoned study, he encourages readers to open themselves to all forms of love—the key to understanding that brings us closer to God.? "There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable . . . draw nearer to God, not be trying to avoid the sufferings inherent in all loves, but by accepting them and offering them to Him; throwing away all defensive armor. If our hearts need to be broken, and if He chooses this as the way in which they should break, so be it."? In Four Loves, C. S. Lewis explores love to help you · Strengthen your interpersonal relationships · Understand the different between needed pleasures and appreciation pleasures and need-love and gift-love · Care for the people in your life, avoid pitfalls, and improve your relationship God The Four Loves holds a mirror to our current society and leaves no doubt that our modern understanding of love is heavily misunderstood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love and tragedy dominate book four of Virgil's most powerful work, building on the violent emotions invoked by the storms, battles, warring gods, and monster-plagued wanderings of the epic's opening. Destined to be the founder of Roman culture, Aeneas, nudged by the gods, decides to leave his beloved Dido, causing her suicide in pursuit of his historical destiny. A dark plot, in which erotic passion culminates in sex, and sex leads to tragedy and death in the human realm, unfolds within the larger horizon of a supernatural sphere, dominated by power-conscious divinities. Dido is Aeneas' most significant other, and in their encounter Virgil explores timeless themes of love and loyalty, fate and fortune, the justice of the gods, imperial ambition and its victims, and ethnic differences. This course book offers a portion of the original Latin text, study questions, a commentary, and interpretative essays. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, Ingo Gildenhard's incisive commentary will be of particular interest to students of Latin at both A2 and undergraduate level. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis to encourage critical engagement with Virgil's poetry and discussion of the most recent scholarly thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today we associate the Renaissance with painting, sculpture, and architecture—the “major” arts. Yet contemporaries often held the “minor” arts—gem-studded goldwork, richly embellished armor, splendid tapestries and embroideries, music, and ephemeral multi-media spectacles—in much higher esteem. Isabella d’Este, Marchesa of Mantua, was typical of the Italian nobility: she bequeathed to her children precious stone vases mounted in gold, engraved gems, ivories, and antique bronzes and marbles; her favorite ladies-in-waiting, by contrast, received mere paintings. Renaissance patrons and observers extolled finely wrought luxury artifacts for their exquisite craftsmanship and the symbolic capital of their components; paintings and sculptures in modest materials, although discussed by some literati, were of lesser consequence. This book endeavors to return to the mainstream material long marginalized as a result of historical and ideological biases of the intervening centuries. The author analyzes how luxury arts went from being lofty markers of ascendancy and discernment in the Renaissance to being dismissed as “decorative” or “minor” arts—extravagant trinkets of the rich unworthy of the status of Art. Then, by re-examining the objects themselves and their uses in their day, she shows how sumptuous creations constructed the world and taste of Renaissance women and men.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of stand-alone dark thriller romances with a common theme: narrators draw their listeners in to their haunting tales, and these stories have a shocking, life-changing connection to the listeners. "The story, The Mystery Box, that gives this set its name, is worth the price (and much more) all by itself. It's very hard to classify. Sometimes it's a mystery, sometimes predictable. It's both a horror story and a love story. It will leave you outraged sometimes, crying at others. It will set your nerves on edge, and tug (hard) at your heartstrings. Reading it is like being on a very strange rollercoaster. It will run your emotions from one end to another. In several places, it's hard to read without shuddering, shivering, cheering, rejoicing, and crying. The characters are so well written, the plot so intricate, and yet so simple, that it involves you fully in the story without being aware of it. You start in a simple life, with a bored housewife. By the end, if you aren't crying, or at least have tears in your eyes, you are a stronger person than I. It's one of the best stories I've read in my 74 years on this earth."--Allyn, Goodreads Reviewer ★★★★★ "I would have loved to have three separate books instead of a box set. Each one is a gem by itself; three absolutely different themes, each with special ethos. Imagine what will happen if you can travel faster than light! How about becoming an archaeologist! Each plot has been well conceived, properly laid out in a free flowing manner. It is difficult make a choice between the three divergent books. Only choice is to vote them all in!"--venky. Goodreads Reviewer ★★★★★ "I just finished The Mystery Box Set and all I have to say is be ready for three amazing stories that will keep you reading well into the early morning hours. Many nights I had to set down my Kindle to get some sort of sleep."--Rachel R. ★★★★★ "I have only read The Mystery Box and Mystery Man, but although the "Box" is very, very good, the "Man" is excellent. I did not want it to end. Fabulous writing! Kudos to Eva Pohler, who has not disappointed thus far."--Amy C. ★★★★★ "After reading this box set, I am now a new fan of Eva Pohler! Three totally different mysteries that grabbed me from the first page and had me reading until I was finished. Each one as good as the others. I can't wait to read more of her books!"--Jennie Ersari ★★★★★ "I loved this box set. All 3 books were absolutely gripping. The story lines were totally different, but each so very good. So thought provoking, with surprise twist and turns. I read all 3 books in just a few days, as I couldn't put the kindle down."--Goodreads Reviewer ★★★★★ Grab your copy to begin these chilling adventures today! Related Authors: Julie Clark, M.M.

Praise for Thanatos: "Got this for son but ended up reading it myself. And very quickly purchased all the following books in the saga." --Miss C. ★★★★★ "Even though I'm not in the target audience (I'm over 40 and can no longer be called a young adult!)

It's a fun blend of mythological characters, paranormal, romance, adventure, and while I haven't been a young adult for a very long time, I still enjoyed reading this series. It is also one I can see myself reading again." --momofsporefan ★★★★★ "Great plot and character development. Greek mythology blended with modern themes. Highly recommend." --Lillian ★★★★★ "I really enjoyed reading this book! To me it was sort of a cross between Twilight and The Hunger Games with some wonderful Greek mythology thrown in for good measure! I actually learned something by reading this book and it actually peaked my curiosity into learning more about the Greek gods and goddesses. Looking forward to reading more in the series!" --Robin E Casey ★★★★★ "I absolutely loved and enjoyed this book! Once I began reading, I was immediately hooked and wondered why I hadn't read it sooner, since I'd downloaded it quite some time ago. Loved it! The characters are believable, the plot moves quickly and keeps the reader engaged, and it is quite easy to become emotionally attached as the Therese, the main character, goes through so much." --Dusty Rogers ★★★★★ Grab your copy to begin the exciting adventure today!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern readers and writers find it natural to contrast the agency of realistic fictional characters to the constrained range of action typical of literary personifications. Yet no commentator before the eighteenth century suggests that prosopopoeia signals a form of reduced agency. Andrew Escobedo argues that premodern writers, including Spenser, Marlowe, and Milton, understood personification as a literary expression of will, an essentially energetic figure that depicted passion or concept transforming into action. As the will emerged as an isolatable faculty in the Christian Middle Ages, it was seen not only as the instrument of human agency but also as perversely independent of other human capacities, for example, intellect and moral character. Renaissance accounts of the will conceived of volition both as the means to self-creation and the faculty by which we lose control of ourselves. After offering a brief history of the will that isolates the distinctive features of the faculty in medieval and Renaissance thought, Escobedo makes his case through an examination of several personified figures in Renaissance literature: Conscience in the Tudor interludes, Despair in Doctor Faustus and book I of The Faerie Queen, Love in books III and IV of The Faerie Queen, and Sin in Paradise Lost. These examples demonstrate that literary personification did not amount to a dim reflection of “realistic” fictional character, but rather that it provided a literary means to explore the numerous conundrums posed by the premodern notion of the human will. This book will be of great interest to faculty and graduate students interested in medieval studies and Renaissance literature.
